Take a screenshot, please, of your namemapping of the MSIEXEC object... one showing the properties you are mapping, one showing the required children.
In the mean time, a question: Are you actually testing the installation ability or is this all a precursor to testing the application itself? The reason I ask is that it might be better time spent to just update the application manually before you run your tests or use some method of CopyFile to copy the updated executable in place rather than trying to get the installation to work. Installation processes are typically not subject to a lot of "breaking" so, if you're not actually testing and verifying the installation process, you might not need to worry about automating it.
